Filling a 50-liter tank of gasoline costs almost 105 euros in Portugal. This amount includes a significant portion of taxes that are charged on each liter of fuel sold in the country.
Without the tax burden applied, the cost to fill the same 50-liter tank would only be 56 euros, representing a considerable difference for consumers.
According to the article, taxes represent almost one euro per liter of 95 gasoline sold in Portugal. This high taxation explains a large part of the final price that Portuguese consumers pay at fuel stations.
The article thus highlights the significant weight that taxation has on fuel prices in Portugal, showing that almost half of the amount paid by the consumer goes toward taxes.
